Signatures needed for NPL’s budget petition

NPL is now collecting the necessary signatures to get our budget on the town ballot for March 2025. Stop by the circulation desk until January 1st to sign the petition.

Did You Know?

NPL is an incorporated library – this means that we request partial funding for each fiscal year through the town, with voters holding the power to approve or not. The remaining amount (typically about 30% of what it takes it to run the library) is fundraised. This is why we are both running an Annual Appeal to solicit donations, and collecting signatures for this town vote.

A petition signature is not binding and does not represent a yes or no vote, it only supports having the budget added to the ballot. This process is essential to NPL and its programs — we are grateful for your support in moving our budget forward!

Stop by anytime if you have more questions about our budget process!
